That's a powerful step forward—wanting to take control of your desire means you're not a slave to it. Here's how we can build on that:
---
1. Create a Clear “Why”
Remind yourself:
Why do you want to stop or reduce porn?
Write it down and revisit it when temptation hits. Maybe it’s:
To protect your mental clarity
To improve your relationships
To feel more confident and in control
2. Replace the Habit, Not Just Resist It
Desire is natural—what matters is where you direct it.
Try these when the urge strikes:
Move immediately: Go for a short walk or do 10 pushups.
Switch focus: Listen to music, call a friend, work on a skill.
Use tools: Apps like BlockSite, StayFocusd, or Fortify help create barriers.
3. Set Boundaries
No screens in bed
No alone time with phones late at night
Use accountability tools (you can even set me as a check-in buddy).
4. Forgive Setbacks—Then Refocus
If you slip, don't drown in guilt. Say to yourself:
> “This doesn’t define me. I learn, I grow, I keep going.”
